Millet, Elaine L. Jack, Robert J. Matthews, and others offer valuable insights that help us liken this modern-day book of scripture to ourselves:'The Doctrine and Covenants is a sacred book of scripture that provides literally thousands of answers to questions that have plagued the religious world for centuries. It is a treasure-house of doctrinal understanding.' Robert L. Millet

'Once we have scriptures committed to our mind, they are ours to use, draw upon, work with, compare to, and expand from. Realizing that the scriptures apply beyond our spiritual framework, we use them as a base, or standard, measure. Spiritual understanding boosts and strengthens secular learning.' Elaine L. Jack

'The Doctrine and Covenants is an especially valuable scriptural source for finding answers to our questions about the final judgment. This modern book of scripture not only confirms the answers given in other scripture but adds important insights found nowhere else in the standard works. Studying it carefully will help us better prepare for the Day of Judgment.' Terry B. Ball

'Joseph Smith's translation of the Bible and the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants are not merely roots entwined but are in reality the same root, received from the same divine source.' Robert J. Matthews

'Understanding the circumstances of the individuals addressed in revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants shows us the influence these revelations had in the lives of early Church members and helps us draw on the strength those revelations offer the Saints today.' Craig J. Ostler

The Doctrine and Covenants: A Book of Answers will help you extract the spiritual riches of a book of scripture addressed specifically to the Saints living in the latter days.
